About Me

I fall in love. I make sure to do it every day. Foolishly perhaps and at times I fall painfully, but still, I fall in love every day. The seas of my life have not always been calm. In fact, the skies have been known to shroud their beauty with clouds and the waves have brought me to the edge of loss during many a storm. Still, All I can figure so far is that my ultimate goal in life is not a goal at all. Just a course that changes and the star of perspective to guide my way. I fall in love, and I refuse to lose my battles before they have begun...so I make sure to fall in love with life at least once a day. These may seem like the words of an aimless fool, but do not underestimate my path thus far, nor brush me away lightly with a label. Instead, join me, take a chance, and fall in love with life...
